These are satisfactory and gratifying to the most exquisite taste. Lay the tubers in a row and cover with' earth and keep them moist unJtil'they sprout; then divide cutting within sharp knife, beirfg careful not to break the sprouts which are left to make plants. Leave two or more sprouts. Make an excavation about 12 ihcheir in dopthr place a stake 4 ,fe?t.high against the side of the excavation. Over this place a go?d sprinkle of sand. Place the tuber on this sand and cover it with a thin cover of sand, then fill with native earth, leaving a basin above several inches' in depth. As the Dahlift grows rich garden earth is filled in to the capacity until it is' built up to the surface of the ground. When Dahlia stalks are preparing to bloom put in one tablespoon of Nitrate of Soda to 2Mi gallons of water, using one quart of this water to each stalk three times a week aftfer they b*gin to bloom. The greatest enemy of the Dahlia is the Thrip. It can be subdued by spraying with nicotine. "Plantings for May will be ageratum, alyseum, balsam, candy-tuft, calliopsis, cosmos, centaurea, larkspur, African marigold. French marigold, mignonette, nasturtium?both trailing and bunch, phlox, annual and perennial, painted daisy, portulaca, sunflower, zinnia."
